Public Comment

 Al Russ, President Hickory Falls I & II – attended the Planning & Zoning Public Hearing for the short term rental and was treated with disrespect (if did not sign in was not allowed to speak), thought if neighbors disapproved then the permit would not be approved (meeting minutes 2018), subdivision by-laws do not allow any short term rentals so would like some consideration in this matter; Village President Topf informed the Board that the Ordinance controls the bad behavior, if person gets permit then costly if rules not followed; each subdivision may enforce their covenants
